Spruce Up your Holiday Table with Chic Thanksgiving Centerpieces

Assembling your Rustic Thanksgiving Centerpiece

Thanksgiving centerpieces created by using our long wooden planter boxes will bring a woodland style and rustic touch to your special event effortlessly. In order to display it to you, we have come up with this arrangement that uses a selection of natural and artificial elements in complementary colors and is ideal for those who wish to display their decorations early in the season. As the entire arrangement is contained within a box, it can be removed for Thanksgiving dinner to make way for more food on the table! Simply lift the box and place it on your buffet table or in another room to spread the joy and festivity all around your space.

Supplies

In order to create this beautiful centerpiece, you’ll need:

• Wooden planter box;
• Rectangular Styrofoam sheets;
• Silk sunflowers;
• Burgundy and orange silk baby breath flowers;
• Burgundy silk daisies;
• LED candles;
• Pine cones and rattan ball assortments;
• Silk gold hydrangea bushes;
• Artificial fern foliage;
• Metallic gold natural goose feathers;
• Scissors

Instructions

• The first step towards assembling your rustic floral Thanksgiving centerpiece requires lining your wood planter box with layers of Styrofoam rectangular sheets to create a base for inserting the flower stems and also to create some height for the arrangement. Cut the foam sheets with the help of scissors and place them in the planter to fit appropriately.
• Next, place the LED candles in the box distancing them equally apart. These LED candles will prevent any fire hazard without compromising on the soft candlelight and whimsical glow that is a must for a Thanksgiving dinner.
• Now that we have our candles in place, we can start arranging our flowers around them. Since our artificial flowers come with long stems in the bushes, you would be needed to cut off the excess stems to adjust the length according to the arrangement. Cut off the stems from your silk sunflowers, daisies, hydrangeas, and baby breath flowers and insert them in your wooden planter as shown in the image.
• Once you have all the flowers inserted into place, place some fern foliage, pine cones, and rattan balls randomly to infuse a woodsy touch into your rustic centerpiece.
• Lastly, insert some gold feathers in the planter as gold is a traditional Thanksgiving color and has a magical brilliance of grandeur that makes even an ordinary décor an extraordinary one.

A Complete Thanksgiving Tablescape

Thanksgiving centerpieces can look exceptionally beautiful when complemented with a complete tablescape for your Thanksgiving dinner. In order to show you how that can be done, we dressed the table with our champagne velvet tablecloth with a white/gold striped satin runner atop. This neutral foundation on your table will set the stage for your gorgeous colorful centerpiece to really stand out. Place your Thanksgiving centerpieces in the middle of the runner and scatter some bark pieces and rattan balls around it to add oodles of rustic flair on the table set up.

Candles always bring a feeling of coziness and relaxation as fanciful candle flame is one of the most pleasant sights in the world. So we decided to create a cozy atmosphere by placing our red tapered candles in gem cut candleholders and votive candle on our wooden pillar candleholder along the length of the runner to achieve that relaxing look. Furthermore, we accentuated our tablescape with gold LED candles to incorporate that majestic gold look associated with a Thanksgiving dinner. As for the individual place setting, we opted for our gold chargers with rhinestones with gold rimmed disposable plates atop. We then finished off our place setting with stylish gold cutlery and gold rimmed glasses for a cohesive look and to display a truly mesmerizing Thanksgiving tablescape.
